The Repubican Party is a death cult
....It is notable that Trump is brazenly misleading about the fatalities due to COVID this year and last.
He’s using the same dishonest argument that was used recently by the Wall Street Journal and also by Fox News. They both ignore the fact that Trump started from zero fatalities and did nothing (more accurately, made things worse) while it ramped up to 400,000 and millions infected by December of 2020.
Consequently, Biden’s term began at the end of January with millions of people already exposed and capable of transmitting to others.
The continued infections and fatalities in 2021 are, of course, also attributable to Trump and his right-wing media mouthpieces at Fox News and elsewhere. They are still resisting measures to mitigate the virus, such as wearing masks and getting vaccinated.
But with the competence and compassion that Trump is incapable of, Biden still reduced the growth rate of fatalities by 75 percent.
We must not forget that more than 90% of the new hospitalizations and fatalities are among unvaccinated people. These are the people that Trump (and Fox News) has mislead from the start. Not surprisingly, the pandemic is impacting red states and counties far more than blue.
These new remarks by Trump are certain to exacerbate that disparity. From the start of the pandemic Trump has sought to downplay its severity. In the book RAGE, by Bob Woodward it was documented that Trump had deliberately lied, saying that he “wanted to always play it down.”
And Trump insiders recently disclosed that he has refused to promote vaccines because it might upset his cult followers or, gawd forbid, help Biden.
If nothing else, Trump is consistent in his determination to benefit himself no matter how dreadful the consequences for others....

Yes people hate it when facts come out about their democrat cornballs and begin to spin facts with their opinions that do not include any truth. Forgot to mention Biden did give Trump credit for the vaccines.
Who is currently president that has yet to tackle covid like he said he would? And wrong about the red states. And why is Biden holding back therapies from red states? Is this about people’s lives or politics? Red state numbers are way down compared to blue states. Your wonderful champion AOC thinks so as she’s vacationing in Florida without her mask after public ally saying People in Florida are dying because of no mask restrictions and vaccine mandates? Really makes. O difference to her dumb ass as Congress is excerpt from the vaccine mandate. Yeah why? Are they more protected than others?
Of course Mr goofy ROB you’ll probably come back with some bs innuendoes and opinions nothing factual asking for evidence. So how about you just respond with some scientific evidence to the contrary? That’s if you know the difference between scientific evidence and news articles.

Anon:
Your comment is fact-free, nothing but your opinions. The red state/blue state divide is apparently a real thing. Not surprising that red states aren't doing well, since it's conservative governors who denigrate vaccination, masks, and mandates. Do you think Johns Hopkins a biased source?
The blue state numbers are often inflated because New York City;, for example, was hit hard in the very beginning of the pandemic, unlike most states, red and blue.
Not at all clear that Florida is doing much better than other states.
I'd like to see evidence that Biden is "holding back therapies from red states."
Biden's biggest problem/failure so far is not ramping up testing.
